Ayuyu, how do you propose they make an open world RPG with stat growth via level ups and NOT have scaling?

Morrowind only had outdoor scaling and VERY minor dungeon scalling (like one mob in 1/10th of the tomb would scale).

Only scaled items were from containers in dungeon and the sheer amount of static hand-placed item made every dungeon worth a shot.

Without scalling the '' You can go everywhere '' claim wouldn't become false all of a sudden, in Morrowind you could go everywhere, though you were not assured to survive everywhere.

If they combined Morrowind scaling with Skyrim design I would be in love

I don't understand why they think scaling makes the game fun

So I finally read the entirety of A Rising Threat and The Great War.

Can we get a game about that? That was awesome. And ridiculous. It's kind of painful to see everything we did in Oblivion end up completely not mattering...F***ing elves...

Has anyone else gone completely over the top with smithing and enchanting? I feel like I practically broke my game.

I'm using a Daedric Warhammer and its attack is 312. My armor is 702 and I have 90% magic resistance. I haven't even enchanted my warhammer because I'm not sure what I want to do with it yet, but I killed an elder dragon in 2 hits (with running critical strikes) and I tested my armor by attacking the Jarl at Dragonsreach. I just stood there and took practically no damage.

I usually play games on normal difficulty (never the harder difficulties), but I finally had to change to Master because I felt so damn beastly. Not sure if that's good yet.

Anyway, I should probably start on the main quest now. Just about 70 hours in and I've been continually sidetracked ever since the first dragon outside of Whiterun.

This game is awesome!

Using proper smithing/enchanting, you can make weapons do over 16000 damage and have 3000+ armor.

Easily, as well as making magic cost no magicka.

Enchanting is broken beyond belief and yet.. they removed spellmaking instead.

That's insane. How is that possible? Don't you need alchemy for that? I had a few potions that increased my enchanting, but it didn't really make a big enough difference for me to care.

Alchemy Potion to make enchanting better -> Enchant something with better alchemy -> Rince and Repaet ad infinitum

When alchemy is strong as **** make a super enchant potion, enchant stuff with insane smithing, then brew an insane potion of Smithing and voila !

Yeah, that's pretty busted.

Even without doing things ways they weren't meant to work, you can still get pretty powerful, though.

Flame atronachs plus dual casting flames plus dragon breath shout plus ancestor's wrath. THE WHOLE WORLD WILL BURN. We will also be making an army of badass dark elf mage babies.

Nah it's deeper in the dungeon.

Look at your left, there should be pillars you can rotate.

And look above you, there should be similar pillars that you can't move.

The rest I assume you'll find out by yourself !

That's a pretty common locking mechanism, there are usually some pillars you can spin around to set the combo for that lock, get it wrong, arrows, fire, or some other things get shot at you.

...man it is so true how gamers never look up


I spent 20 minutes in some dungeon trying to find a hidden lever, never thought to look up. Not once. I actually went to youtube to find out where the lever i'm missing was, and I ran past it at least 40 times, it was right next to me and up.

At Bleak Falls Barrow, having a sick 2-on-1 archery battle with a couple bandits. Actually having to use cover and such!! I mean, I loved Morrowind, that game was amazing, but it was a lot of either hack-and-slash, or shoot people with arrows while running away. This gives it a strategic feel! Eventually shot the first one down, and rushed the second one while he was hiding behind a pillar.

Also, how should I go about perks? I'm playing a stealthy dark elf with archery and one handed for now.

Also, any way to get my rep back so I can go to this town without getting ganked? I like this place :(


You should be able to run into a guard and pay the bounty.

I think drops only stay in one place for a specific amount of time, no idea how long.

What you should so is probably just buy the house in Whiterun when you get the chance (it's 5000 gold).
